Monster Walk
- Pro

The monster walk loops a resistance band above your knees or ankles, then you sit into a quarter squat and step forward on wide diagonals against the band. Keeping tension the whole time trains the glutes through constant resistance rather than a single loaded lift. Beginners use it at home or in the gym, for reps as a main exercise or a finisher.

How to
- Place the band above your knees or ankles.
- Sit into a quarter squat, feet hip-width.
- Walk forward with wide diagonal steps against the band.
- Keep tension the whole time; walk backward to return.
Form cues
- Feel the tension along the side of your hip.
- Keep your knees pressed out, not caving in.
- Stay low in the squat as you step.
Common mistakes
- Knees cave in with each step. Press your knees out against the band.
- Steps stay small and the band goes slack. Take wider steps to keep tension up.
- Hips rise up out of the squat. Stay low in the squat the whole set.
